Episode 91: JFK and the Third World (EDS 20)
🕑 Added 2022-12-12 18:19:11 +0000 UTCIn this episode, we look at how JFK approached the so-called Third World—examining Rostow’s modernization theory as well as cases in Africa and Indonesia. This is the 20th installment of our Empire and the Deep State series--an in-depth exploration of my new book American Exception: Empire and the Deep State. Again I am joined by series co-host Ben Norton of Multipolarista as well our own Seamus McGuinness who is producing the series.
Special thanks to Dana Chavarria for the sound engineering!

Just a little...sort of a rehash of what we did before, but we lost the video so I am trying to repurpose some of this Indonesia material here. And it all compliments and fleshes out the series anyway.

The fourth world was the moon which is why JFK wanted to go there too
